“It was a long conversation, but at the end of the day, we have her blessing,” he revealed.
“Her blessing?” I blurted out with excitement. “Are you certain?”
He laughed at my reaction. “I’m pretty sure, since I was the one that was directly in front of her as we spoke. But yes, we came to an understanding that while she and I were married, Aphrodite would have every right to love others and I would be able to do the same. Specifically, I mentioned the love I shared with you, and she responded positively to it.”
I could no longer contain myself. I leapt from my seat, throwing myself into Hephaestus’s arms, as he closed them around me in a warm, tight embrace. “So, we really can make this work now?”
My glowing eyes looked up, meeting Hephaestus’s as he nodded. “Yes, that is, if you’re willing to. But Aphrodite did grant us permission. Surprisingly, there is so much more to Aphrodite than she is willing to reveal to others.”
“I must say, I am quite stunned she is so supportive,” I admitted. “I did have my doubts about what she would end up saying to you.”
“Well, you should no longer have any doubts whatsoever. You and I can be together. Like I mentioned yesterday, it’s not conventional, but I think we could make it work. I love you, Hestio, and I would do everything in my power to make you happy.”
“And I am at my happiest when I am with you,” I confessed. “So, as long as you are by my side, I will forever be content.”
Hephaestus, no longer being able to contain himself, tilted his head forward, allowing his lips to grace mine.
I fell victim to his kiss, closing my eyes and relaxing my body, easing into him. This feeling felt so rewarding. There was a moment where I imagined that I would no longer ever get the opportunity to kiss Hephaestus again—that I would no longer get the chance to make love to him from here on out, after he was married. Luckily, all my worries were now unwarranted.
My feet backed up, trudging Hephaestus along with me until we both fell into the chaise that was behind us. His massive, muscular body was firmly pressed on top of mine. I ripped his clothes off as if I was mortal and my life depended on it.
He, too, was swift with his hands to unstrap my tunic to throw it off me. Our bodies were now bare, fully exposed to one another, just as they should be.
I could feel Hephaestus’s huge girth massaging against my torso as we continued to kiss. He rhythmically thrusted his body up and down my own, increasing the friction of our skin contact, thereby heightening the flames that stirred within the both of us.
Our love-making this time was far different from any previous session we had ever had. This one meant so much more, for there was an earlier chance he and I would never get to experience this ever again. Now that we knew we could have free rein of our love and to be able to have sex whenever we so desired—that made this particular and longing experience even more thrilling and beyond enjoyable compared to any other we’ve previously had.
As the passion between us continued to pick up, I gripped the back of Hephaestus’s hair, tugging on it roughly. “By the gods, I love you!” I exclaimed.
He then lifted his head up to study me, with a longingness in his eyes. “I love you too. I’d have no other,” he intimately whispered before returning to kiss me again.
Only this time, his enormous hands wrapped around towards my back to spin me around, so that I was on my knees against the chaise. Hephaestus positioned himself so that he was directly behind me, his erect cock ready to fully press into me. I could not help but whimper loudly with pleasure. At this point, I did not even care for one second if my servants or anyone else in my palace overheard the ruckus we were causing. Let them know of the ways in which Hephaestus drove me wild.
At first, Hephaestus slowly plunged himself into me, letting me get used to the slight initial pain that inevitably overcame my entire body. But that feeling quickly subsided, being replaced by one that was filled with pure and utter ecstasy. I howled as Hephaestus plowed himself into me, increasing the force of his thrusts.
All I could do was press my face down into the fabric of the chaise, closing my eyes, while relishing the thrill of having him completely immersed in me, satisfying every part of my being.
“I don’t know if I can make it much longer,” I admitted to him, with gasps in between my words.
“Don’t say that… you’re going to make me…” Hephaestus started to say, before I could hear the heavy grunts escape from him, while his entire body vibrated.
I too then yelped with him. “Arghhh!” I groaned, releasing my milky liquid all over the chair.
Hephaestus then suddenly lost his balance, rolling off me, with a heavy thud to the floor, while I too stumbled to the ground with him, causing a loud impact. We both could not help but snicker at how clumsy we were.
He lay on his back, facing the ceiling, while I managed to scoot my head up, so that it was now resting on his thick, panting chest.
“I could just lie here forever,” I confessed to him.
“Me too,” he agreed. “Although with the current status of the world, it will be difficult for us to do that.”
He was right in this regard, and I knew exactly what he meant by it. Us gods were constantly being summoned to the surface to help mortals create weapons, provide them with fire to keep warm, and cook their food. We also gave them the optimal weather conditions to grow their crops, while also rewarding the strongest and most skilled humans with gold, riches, etc. Not to mention, kings and warriors frequently called upon us to help strategize and aid them in war and strife.
As the population of mortals continued to grow in the world, our invested time spent in servicing them also increased with it. Needless to say, it was becoming quite the problem, and I had a feeling at the rate at which it was going, it would mean that I had less time to spend with Hephaestus.
“If only we could find a way to lessen our duties, then we could have all the time in the world to devote to one another,” I added.
“But what can we do?” Hephaestus asked, unsure of how to address this looming issue. “Zeus and Hera are unwilling to solve it. They do not want to give mortals any sort of power in fear of them wanting to usurp their reign, which we all know is an impossibility to begin with. Now, we all must suffer because of their unnecessary concern.”
